The amplitude increased by roughly 50 percent
across high latitude regions north of 45 ° N, compared with previous aircraft observations from the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Researchers [including - can you believe it - yet another Vladimir] of Atmospheric and Environmental Research, Inc., the University of Massachusetts and the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, wrote in Environmental Research Letters how they think climate change leads to precipitation increases in
different high latitude regions, especially in Eurasia.
However, these studies rely on datasets consisting almost entirely of information from northern Eurasian populations — those that reside mostly
in higher latitude regions.
With changes in the Arctic so pronounced this year, it's important that attribution efforts are channelled into
these high latitude regions.
In the first major study to examine the effects of climate change on ocean fisheries, a team of researchers from UBC and Princeton University discovered that catch potential will fall 40 percent in the tropics and may increase 30 to 70 percent in
high latitude regions, affecting ocean food supply throughout the world by 2055.
Li et al. also report that the vast majority of the observed rise in NPP occurred in the middle and
high latitude regions, with 61.1 percent of the increase occurring between 30 and 60 degrees of latitude and 26.4 percent between 60 and 90 degrees of latitude of both hemispheres (see Figure 1c).
Negative impacts of climate change on crop yields have been more common than positive impacts (some positive trends are evident in
some high latitude regions).
The IPCC's climate scientists and green global warming alarmists have long predicted that global warming will cause an increase / spread of malaria to
higher latitude regions.
«China's seas spread from tropical to
high latitude regions and we are seeing species migration away from the tropics to the north as sea temperature changes.»
Recent studies show that changes in rainfall over northern mid to
high latitude regions and southwest Australia can be attributed to human influence.
